bottom of the display area. If you decrease the size of the model height,
a dialog will appear asking you whether to take space from the top or the
bottom of the display area. In addition, if you decrease the model size
and the objects no longer fit within the display area, you will be asked
to confirm this in a separate dialog.
NOTE: Model Width/Height options are
disabled if you are not using the default model com.sl.gmsjrtview.m_basemodel. |

Resize Mode |
Control object layout when a window
is resized in the current display (.rtv) file. It is also possible to globally
specify a Window Resize Mode, select
Tools>Options>General or set -resizemode on the command line.
In the Display Builder, the selected Resize Mode is
only applied to drill down windows. The main window of the Display Builder is
always in Crop mode.
Select from the
following options:
Default |
Use application
level default mode. Defaults are: Scale for for the Display Builder,
Display Viewer Application and Display Viewer Applet and Crop for the
Thin Client, |
Crop |
When the window is
resized, the display stays the same size. If the window is bigger than the
display, empty space will show around the display. If the window is smaller
than the display, scrollbars will be added. The window is not forced to
maintain its aspect ratio. This is the default for the Thin Client.
|
Scale |
When the window is
resized, the display and all of the objects in it are scaled to fit the
available space. The window is forced to maintain its aspect ratio. This is
the default for the Display Builder, Display Viewer Application and Display
Viewer Applet. |
Layout |
When the window is
resized, the display is resized to fit the available space. The objects in
the display are positioned according to their anchor and dock
properties. The window is not forced to maintain its aspect ratio.
Objects that are not docked or anchored will
move relative to their offset from the top left corner of the display. For
example, if the object is centered on the display, the object will move 50%
of the resize amount. If the object is centered at 3/4 of the display, it
will move 75% of the resize amount. |
NOTE: All three resize modes support zooming the
display (right-click -> zoom). In both Scale and Layout modes if
the window is resized while the display is zoomed, then the resize will further
zoom the display. |
Dock Fill Rows
|
Objects in a display that
have the dock property set to Fill are laid out across a grid in
the available space remaining in the display after all docked objects have been
positioned. By default, the grid has one row and as many columns as objects.
If Dock Fill Rows is set to 0 and the Doc
Fill Columns value is specified, then the number of rows will be calculated
based on the number of objects. If a value is specified for both Dock Fill
Rows and Doc Fill Columns, the row value will be used and the number
of columns will be calculated based on the number of objects. If both are set to
0, the default will be used.
Objects are positioned left to right, top to
bottom according to the order in which objects were added to the display. |
